Early Life and Education

Tyler Gillett first saw the light of day on March 6, 1982, in Flagstaff, Arizona, born to Mr. and Mrs. Gillett.

He grew up in a creative household where his parents encouraged a love for movies and storytelling, allowing him and his brother plenty of freedom to explore the outdoors in a way he later described as cinematic and fantastical.

He attended Flagstaff High School before earning dual BFAs in film production and studio art (with a focus on photography) from the University of Arizona in 2004. He is of Caucasian American origin, and his religion is not publicly disclosed.

Career

Tyler Gillett started in the camera department on the Will Ferrell comedy Semi-Pro, working his way up as a loader, operator, and eventually director of photography.

He directed short films and comedy sketches for groups like The Groundlings and Upright Citizens Brigade, then created web series such as Domesticating, Funny in Love, and Books.

In 2009, he teamed with Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Chad Villella for the Chad, Matt & Rob collective, producing interactive adventure and horror shorts that racked up nearly 100 million online views and honed his signature mix of genres.

This laid the groundwork for his feature breakthrough with a segment in the anthology V/H/S (2012) under the Radio Silence banner he co-founded.

His career accelerated with co-directing features like Devil’s Due (2014) and Southbound (2015), but Ready or Not (2019) marked his major commercial and critical breakthrough.

He followed with the successful Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023) reboots, the vampire horror-comedy Abigail (2024), and the upcoming Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (2026).

Gillett has also produced entries in the V/H/S franchise and taken on high-profile projects including a new Mummy film.

His influence lies in elevating indie-horror sensibilities to studio scale while maintaining inventive, audience-pleasing energy and strong collaborations.
